This large pipe tomahawk blade is filed to shape with decorative filework on the blade spine and heel and inlaid brass in the eye. The elegant turned brass pipe bowl has a banded rim and base with a twelve-faceted barrel bowl, resting on a flat-topped chevron. The bowl is threaded into the tool steel head and soldered. The blade molding is filed in high relief. The bottom of the blade has a deep arc and beard with a sharpened bit. The blade has a satin polish and is patinated.

The cap is formed from heavy brass with a file-patterned edge and fastened with twelve brass pins. A hexagonal brass clean-out plug is threaded into the cap. The figured curly maple haft has two file-detailed cast-in pewter rings with exposed wood squares . The haft terminates with a matching cast-in pewter stem. The wood is treated with aqua fortis and finished with several coats of hand-rubbed oil.

The blade is 8" long with a 3" edge, and the overall length is 21.5".
